This was literally the one movie I was dying to see. The one film that was circled on my calendar coming four days later after my birthday. And after seeing it yesterday, I was not disappointed at all.
I truly enjoyed this movie a lot. From Ben Affleck's performance as Bruce Wayne/Batman which outstanding. Affleck really showed the true dark side of the Dark Knight. The fight scenes, the car chases and yes even that not to long not to short of a fight between him and Superman was amazing.
My brother, Alex, thought that scene when Superman was getting his strength back and Batman punches him until he sees his hand a bit smashed, backing away with his hand up saying wait was hilarious. I have to agree with that too.
Cavill's performance as Superman was good. He's character is trying to make what he is to the world and the world is in separate sides after the events in Man of Steel. The chemistry between Cavill and Amy Adams, as Lois Land, can't be beat. Near the end I was shedding some tears myself and I wasn't the only one in the theatre to do so.
Jesse Eisenberg was great, crazy and insane but great. This Lex Luther seems to be younger than Superman and Batman and tries to play with the big boys and does it quiet well. There were some scenes that had me seating back and looking at my brother with a look that he's getting crazy dangerous. Hell, the scenes with Holly Hunter was great. I didn't think it was going to be that good but hell there was some sexually tension between one another and that scene when she sees a jar of "grandma's sweet peach tea" seating I think we all knew that Lex is that bad.
Of course, I don't believe in what some of the critics are saying of this film. Yeah, I do agree with some others that the story was a bit long. I don't care I always asked for a longer movie in this genre. Yeah the fight between Superman and Batman was a bit short to our expectations, so it fit just fine with me.
Gal Gadot's performance was great. Even though we knew who she is and all, she played Dana perfectly long with Affleck. And her introduction as Wonder Woman was outstanding. Hell, the score was mind blowing.
And I can't forget Jeremy Irons performance as Alfred was amazing. He was the most active Alfred in all of the Batman films. Not only given Affleck's character advice but being sarcastic and hilarious. Probably my favorite Alfred along with Michael Gough.
Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice was a very good film. It was better than Man of Steel and Batman Begins to say the least. It's a Zack Snyder film and if you remember Man of Steel, he does stretch the film out a bit. I literally can't wait to see the blu-ray edition when it's release to see more of what they didn't show.
Loved that scene when all three heroes lineup together against Doomsday. I think I wasn't the only one that was full of excitement and shedding some tears a bit too. And seeing the rest of the soon to be Justice League was amazing. Those were enough clips to see them from The Flash, Aquaman and Cybrog.
The ending of the film was remarkable as it felt like The Dark Knight Returns but only for Superman.
I loved it. I'm dying to see it again. I can't wait to see the rest of the DC Universe films.
Overall, I give it a 9/10.
Batman V. Superman Dawn of Justice is in theaters now.
